My pleasure
I am happy I saw this because now I'm happy to know that I don't have to worry about all that dirty water and disposing of it..
excellent. I am so glad to make your day a happy one. Cheers!!!!
That work is ɓeautiful🎉
@@bigbrainforbes6604 thank you
Hi im Cynthia from south Africa. You are such a pro. Keep it up and thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
Thanks for watching and for sending the message. It’s lovely to receive feedback
Wow, the sock thing! 👏👏🙋🏼♀️
Yep…. There is always a spare sock lying around that can finally become useful
Great video, you are a delightful teacher!
Thank you so much.
Gorgeous!!!I I am a beginner and I think this will be my way to grout also and it is not as messy as using water. Thank you for another well taught tutorial.
I teach this method after watching students apply too much water when cleaning. it is my preferred method and my students also now prefer it. So glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers and happy nipping.
Some fabulous tips here. 😊 thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing, I'm ready to level up and your tips are invaluable!
Awesome.
it is lovely to have your feedback.
Thank you. Love the dry method.
My pleasure
Thanks Cheryl. Never thought of using my rubber trowel for this together with a sock.
Watching sessions from you & Peter are very worthwhile. So much helpful info from years of experience.
Wonderful!
Wow great information thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Cheryl! Learned so much about a different way to do the dry method, using 'tools' like socks & toothbrushes! I'm very new at this and found using paper towels (instead of the sock) so incredibly messy, and I think using a toothbrush makes so much more sense in cleaning up those areas of the glass or tiles rather than using dental picks. Overall I just like your method so much more, including keeping a shop vac close by to clean as you go! Thanks again. PS, I forgot to ask after watching the mandala video - do you have a written pdf or pattern of the mandala? I would love to replicate it. Thank you!
Thanks. Beautiful piece.
Many thanks!
Fabulous as always Cheryl. Thank you for the tips! I need to go through the sock drawer now. 😀
Its a pleasure!! It is good to know those odd socks are now going to come in handy!
This was great, thank you! What is your substrate - it seemed thin for a tile. I so appreciate that you showed every step including mixing!
Thank you for your response
The substrate is a piece of “cement sheeting “ or in USA hardiboard/hardibacker
Thank you!! I’ve always done the whole thing at once AND used a wet sponge. It’s always been a mess!
You are so welcome!
Great ideas! Where can I get a trowel like yours?
they are called a "float trowel. I got mine from "Bunnings" here in Australia
You really are very good. I am just about to begin a coloured glass on glass mosaic to act as a circular window inside the house, not external. Hopefully it will give some added light into a dark stairwell in my house in Spain. I intend to use chocolate brown grout to make the mosaic leaded’esk!! Or faux leaded if my made up word grates. Lol 😢Would the white mixer work on glass? I really like the idea of waterless grout with enhanced properties. Thank you again for your information and techniques. Regards AlisonX
All the best.
Do a little “tester” before you tackle the grout on the main piece.
A test is always better to reinsure that you have made the right choice for YOU!!!
There is never a right option,,, just an option that works best for you!!!
Good luck
is there anywhere you show how you glued the mosiac? I saw the layout video but wanted to know how you went about gluing - did you lift out every piece and glue on? thanks
I get beginnners to lay the tiles first so they have even spacing. The tiles are then lifted up individually and glued. When i work i lay down the glue and place the tile onto the glue. You need to select a method that works for you and your experience and practice. there is no right or wrong way,,,,just what you are happy with.
Do you know if we can purchase the Davco Products in the US?
Hi Kathy.
I don’t believe you can purchase Davco in America but lacticrete is a great product that has polymer additives which can be added to grout.
Check out the brands for polymer additive to enhance grout
Why u keep camera screen so narrow ? Camera focus is far too.
Hi
This video was taken from a live tutorial I did on Facebook.
This angle allowed me to talk to students as I was demonstrating.
Also, as this was a live tutorial I didn’t want to move the camera too often.
My apologies
